Extremely Rare Great Opportunity!! A chance to own a highly-upgraded recent model Aqualodge42 Houseboat located in Boston’s best hidden gem of a marina- Boston Bay Marina! Not only is this the best priced marina by far in Boston, but parking for up to 2 cars is FREE and included!! A savings of at least 6-8K per year over the higher priced alternatives! Additionally, you get to live in a long established congenial community of great liveaboard neighbors who look out for each other! And- you get THE best slip in the marina offering privacy from foot traffic and gorgeous Sunrise and Sunset Views!!! 

Over their past 6 years of ownership, the caring owners have spent many thousands on many upgrades and improvements such as:

• New state of the art mini-split HVAC system for VERY economical climate control in All seasons! 
• Newer Full sized stainless steel Stove with full oven, Stainless Microwave and beautiful Stainless Fridge with freezer drawers below for ease of use
• State of the Art Incinolet Toilet eliminating the need for inconvenient pumpout of toilet waste! Simply empty a pullout ash tray and discard!
• Recently upgraded marine wiring throughout the boat to ensure ample protected power throughout the boat
• Recently replaced Fender board surrounding the 4 sides of the boat
• Relocated water heater from master closet to allow much larger full sized closet for clothes
• Stacking washer/dryer for onboard laundry convenience-relatively rare on most Aqualodges in Northeast
• A regular program of hull maintenance by local diver

The boat is boarded from the bow outdoor deck. This full beam private deck offers a great space to hang and relax and dine alfresco when desired. The salon/country kitchen is entered through a large thermopane glass sliding door. To port is ample room for a sleep sofa, cocktail table and easy chair and modest dining table for 2-4. Opposite and to starboard is where the entertainment center is typically positioned. There is room for another chair here too. Moving aft and on this side is the country galley with sizeable L shaped counter and full appliances. A couple of bar stools/chairs will fit nicely on the end of the L. Opposite and to port is the full private bathroom with good sized shower stall, vanity and newer Incinolet toilet. Between galley and head is a nice looking wood ladder providing access to a large loft area useable for great storage and sleeping area for children if desired. Moving aft between ladder and fridge is the sliding privacy door to the master stateroom with several opening windows, washer/dryer, queen bed platform with more storage below, and a large and wide hanging closet.

This spacious open-concept living area features soaring ceilings with beautiful exposed beam rafters, creating an airy, expansive feel. Large sliding glass doors and multiple operable thermopane windows fill the space with natural light and provide stunning sunset views from both inside and out. Easy-care engineered wood flooring runs throughout, offering a warm, attractive look while allowing for flexible placement of area rugs. A newer ceiling fan with integrated lighting complements the exposed-beam design, and ample 110V GFCI-protected outlets are conveniently located throughout the space. Comfort is ensured year-round by a newer (September 2025) 15,000 BTU Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system with remote control, delivering exceptional energy efficiency and substantial electricity savings. The home also features a full 120/220V electrical panel with circuit breakers. The versatile layout easily accommodates a sleeper sofa, entertainment center, additional seating, and a dining table, all conveniently located adjacent to the galley kitchen.

The spacious country-style kitchen is designed for both functionality and comfort, featuring full-size residential appliances and an expansive L-shaped counter that provides ample workspace for meal preparation, casual dining, or barstool seating. Abundant upper and lower cabinets, drawers, and additional upgraded cabinetry along the exterior of the L-shaped layout offer exceptional storage capacity. A conveniently located water heater is tucked away in a lower cabinet, maximizing available space and allowing for a larger primary closet. The kitchen also includes a large stainless-steel double sink, a full-size stainless-steel electric range with a true residential-sized oven, a stainless-steel over-the-range vent hood, and a spacious stainless-steel Haier refrigerator with dual lower freezer drawers that provide easy access to frozen foods and additional storage convenience.

The primary bedroom is bright and inviting, with beautiful natural light streaming through classic thermopane double-hung windows on two walls. A full bed platform provides generous storage space underneath, while a large primary closet offers ample room for clothing and personal belongings. Multiple 110V electrical outlets are conveniently located throughout the room, and an additional wall-mounted air conditioner is available for occasional supplemental cooling if desired. For added convenience, the bedroom includes a stacked washer/dryer combination unit for onboard laundry (please ask the broker for details). Easy-maintenance engineered wood flooring complements the space, and a sliding privacy door maximizes usable floor area while providing separation from the main living area without the space requirements of a traditional swinging door.

The bathroom combines comfort and practicality with a durable engineered wood floor that offers excellent water resistance and easy maintenance. A vanity with sink and storage below provides convenient space for toiletries and essentials, complemented by a wall mirror and a large stall-style shower. Natural light and ventilation flow through a residential-style thermopane double-hung window, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Additional features include a GFCI-protected 110V outlet and an exhaust vent fan for added comfort. The bathroom is equipped with a state-of-the-art Incinolet toilet, which eliminates the need for inconvenient waste pump-outs by reducing waste to a small amount of easily disposable ash. For owners who prefer a conventional marine toilet system, the existing 100-gallon waste holding tank remains in place and can be utilized for future conversion if desired.
